Entry 6 - Boxy?

I have not been on the Internet in a long long time. Things are getting busier each day. But, ironically its not in the busyness we experience at home. The things that fill your time here are all primarily focused around children. Almost everything i do now centers around investing in the school children and the interns that are here.
For the past four afternoons, (after 4 o'clock) i have been spending my time being an airplane, bunny, boat, and karate instructor...hahaha......
i know that sounds weird. but, i have my "play time" with the village kids after they get off of school. It's so much fun!!! Definitely brings me back to my childhood. Its amazing to be running around pretending you're an airplane with about 20 other little airplanes following you!
I try to show the love of Christ to the children here by spending time with them. In fact, they all expect a hug now, before I leave each afternoon...today they literally lined up and all gave me a hug, one by one. - All voluntarily planned -HOW SWEET!!! Of course there were those who jumped on me...and the rest followed. The children here are a prime example of the fact that people are people...no matter where they are from. We all have desires to be loved, wanted, cared for, and nurtured.

Little update on Gloria:
Gloria has been really sick the past four days, but thankfully today she is feeling much better. I went in to get her on Monday, and she had a really bad temperature. Poor thing was unable to even get in her wheel chair most of the week...But, today she had enough strength to take a stroll to the swings. She laughed the whole way there... I think she was just glad to be out of the house. Please continue to pray for here though. (For a complete recovery) THANKS!

Please also continue to pray for unity among the interns here... The Lord has definitely made his presence known among us...but pray for the continual reminder that we should desire to live in His presence ALL THE TIME.
We have planned to have a dinner, movie, and game night tonihgt. YAY!

I also feel the need to mention that in the time it took me to write Entry 5 and Entry 6, I got box braids. Basically little bitty braids all over my head. haha,... but, after three days of having them in....i took them out. They were really hot and heavy! It was difficult going from short hair to thick long hair all in 6 and a half hours....thats right..it took 6 1/2 hours for them to braid my hair...hahaha.... i watched 2 1/2 movies: The Princess Bride, Miss Congeniality, and 1/2 of Stranger than Fiction.

Anyways, enough with hair news...

A special thanks goes out to Rebecca for the letter i read this morning!! The Isaiah 6 reference definitely allowed my heart to have the right focus this morning!

Thanks again for all of your prayers! I can't wait to see all of you soon!
